Mankind is the most intelligent species ever existed on the planet. It has been given the dominion authority among all creatures of the land. The wonders of the universe and the world we lived, in is the very demonstration of how magnificent is God the author of everything. Ever since in our existence, we were born conscious of all things. That is why mankind evolved in the means of living and technological adaptation.
In this time of global crisis caused by the pandemic, thousands of people are greatly devastated especially in the middle and poor class society. There are some small to medium businesses that are forced to close temporarily or permanently due to the lockdown and government restrictions. The pandemic caused more damages unexpectedly, it tore family and friends ties with the enforced restrictions. It is really sad to think that it all happens in a short period.
How bad it went in the year 2020. Before the year-end, the mainstream and social media reported a new strain of the virus which reportedly is more contagious than the first virus strain. If this is true, it will surely increase the burden of the people which at first has caused them to lose hope. It cannot be denied that the closure of businesses and services caused by the pandemic greatly affects people's capacity to raise their family. It affected more families which some reportedly acquired depression. We cannot avoid wondering about what is more to go, all we can do is to pray and wish that we can get back to normal very soon. It is the only way people can recover, and get back to normality.
The Christmas and New Year's eve occasion is celebrated once a year. To most families, especially Christians; it is the most special day in a year that you wouldn't want to miss. The very essence of these occasions is the gathering of family members in faith, it is the sweetest time of the year and also presents thanksgiving. This yearly event miraculously regains families' hope of a new life and aspiration. Despite the huge devastation people found new hope. It is within their family it got them to recover from deep regrets. If there is one huge benefit we can get to this pandemic devastation, it is the families regathering and renewed faith.
If there is life there is hope. It is not yet over as soon as you keep up. Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine. In our family and faith, we find purpose in life.
